The answer is AI slop. Kagi translate uses a slopinator in the background, you can pass anything in to query parameter.
I mean at least its a valid use of a LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL, focus on it being a language model. If they actually optimize it for translating it could be a good thing.
I’m a language teacher and tbh, deepl is difficult to detect at a high level. It’s easier if you know their style and if you can recognize phrasing from their native language, but if you’re giving a native Dutch speaker you don’t know an essay to write at C1 academic German, good fucking luck telling if it’s an ai translation or not.
